I recently moved to Chicago to pursue a doctorate in clinical psychology, with an emphasize on children and adolescents, and am looking for opportunities to continue working with children while I study. Happy to provide recommendations and referrals. I hold a Master's degree in psychology and have three years experience in private practice therapy work and two years of experience as a children's clinical case manager in community mental health, providing me with valuable insights into child development. I have worked with very high needs children, with great experience in extreme trauma, ADHD, ASD, emotion regulation issues such as anxiety, depression, and even issues with self-harm. With my classes starting in September, I am available for summer sitting and am flexible with hours, including overnights and unconventional schedules. I am certified in CPR and First Aid, and I am comfortable caring for children of all ages. I am known for being patient, attentive, and engaging.

    Marian is awesome. I was looking for someone with experience with autistic children to spend some time with my twins who are on the spectrum. Marian came once a week and was super helpful in engaging my children, entertaining them, while also pushing them to develop the social skills and executive functioning they need to succeed every day. Her patience, coupled with a strong higher educational background in special needs/neuroatypical children, is an amazing strength she brings to bear while working with children. She's easy going and ready to help in most any care-giving situation. You can tell she has found her passion, and I highly recommend her!
